Google is your friend.

Personally I buy OEM pads from nissanpartzone and find any drilled and slotted rotor. Works great

I just ordered EBC pads and slotted rotors for 07 SE. I've had them before and they lasted well and performed excellent. They say low dust but I'd say middle road on the dust. Not a ton, but sure not minimal.

My advice...go to autozone and get Duralast Cmax Gold pads. All ceramic pad; excellent initial bite with oem rotor. Minimal dust/comes with new hardware and best of alll Drumroll:
.....Lifetime warranty. Years from now take your pads in with no receipt/box and walk out with new pads in hand. $50 for fronts. Check any other car forum; hardly anyone has anything bad to say. Highly reviewed and regarded.

I put a set of the CMax pads with their Duralast rotors on an 04 Infiniti G35x and they were great.

I just bought some borg warners from o'rileys, they come with a lifetime warranty. Have had great luck with them on my past vehicles. So far, the car likes them, stopping power is better than before.

I buy my brakes at pepboys, prostop premium. I bought the Platinum High Carbon rotors from them last year they seem good. Pep Boys has a better brake part selection than auto zone

Out of all the different setups I have had, I found that Brembo blank rotors with Akebono Street Performance pads feel and perform the best.

/\ all of those are good options if you're just trying to replace the factory stuff.

I run Centric Premium rotors and StopTech Street Performance pads. No warping, love the added performance, hate the dusting.
